Bill,

Not using Hotmail, but I've noted several occasions where opening a web page on 
IE7 and using JAWS 12 results in a message to use Alt+Tab to switch. I've seen 
other report similar situations on this list, as well.

Somehow JAWS 12 in conjunction with IE7 is losing focus when the page opens, 
requiring us to use various methods (F6, Insert+Esc, F5, Alt-Tab, Screaming) to 
get JAWS to focus on the web page.

Doesn't happen all the time, but often enough to know that it's very 
frustrating. So I wouldn't consider your use of the favorites to be the source 
of the problem.

Never saw this with JAWS 11.

  Subject: JAWS, IE7 and Hotmail


  I'm using JAWS11, IE7, and Windows XP. Since yesterday, when I try clicking 
on my favorite in IE7 for hotmail, IE7 just stalls, and doesn't open the 
hotmail page.

  If I put in the address:
  mail.live.com, the window opens correctly, and I can then navigate to my 
inbox.

  Once I had done this, I tried replacing my favorite in IE7, but this was of 
no help.

  When I tried using the new favorite, the same thing happened. The window 
opens correctly, however, if I enter the address manually.

  Does anyone have the same trouble? And does anyone know what the actual 
problem is with IE7 and JAWS?

  Thank you.
